Hi, i'm janine friston - the networking expert

People connector, networking expert, speaker & business mentor

I've brought together 1000's of business owners through my online and in-person networking events, communities and business groups.

I love seeing people thrive in their businesses, by taking the steps that work for them.

We're all different, and so I encourage you to BE YOU, BUILD your business, GROW your  audience and NETWORK in ways that are aligned with WHO you you, WHAT you want to achieve and HOW you want to achieve it.

As an introvert I know how large groups can feel a little awkward. I know how we love our own company, but also enjoy meeting others too. I know how energy zapping being around loud, extroverted people can be sometimes - even when they are your best buddies!

I'm here to champion us introverted, quietly-confident business owners to build genuine connections, and grow our businesses in ways that are aligned to our personalities.

introvert-friendly ways to be involved:

FBN Select - exclusivity networking without the sales & referral pressure

Small group, one-per-industry networking - online or in person groups. 


Be the expert in the room, or on the zoom.


Showcase your expertise, share skills and knowledge by hosting a spotlight session.

What's App group for ongoing support and networking.


The networking space for the more experienced networkers out there.


Applications now open for my online and Manchester groups.

Networking Made Easy - without being everywhere or the loudest in the room

Does networking feel draining, awkward, or overwhelming?


If you’ve ever:

  • Walked into a room full of strangers and wanted to turn right back around...
  • Left an event with a pile of business cards but no real connections...
  • Stayed quiet on Zoom, afraid of rambling or interrupting...
  • Struggled to talk about your business without sounding “salesy”...

…you’re not alone.


 ✨Build confidence without forcing fake “networking personalities.”
✨ Turn introductions into real opportunities, referrals, and clients.
✨ Learn how to connect genuinely  - in person and online.
✨ Use events, communities, and relationships strategically to grow their business. 



This is what I need

Network & Build Connections In Just 15 Minutes A Day

 Build genuine business relationships in just 15 minutes a day - no big events, no overwhelm....


If you’ve ever wished networking could feel calm, natural, and doable alongside everything else in your life… you’re in the right place.


This is networking designed for women who’d rather skip the crowded rooms, the endless small talk, and the pressure to “perform.” Instead, you’ll discover a kinder way to grow your visibility and your business - one that feels genuine, aligned, and sustainable.
